Primary Diagnosis

It has come to my attention that some of you can’t access Case Study #3 in the Assignment section of BB so I am posting the case scenario as follows:

Case Study # 3

M. Richards is a 33-year-old woman who comes to the urgent care center. The nurse collects the following data.

Interview Data: Ms. Richards tells the nurse, “I have a really bad pain in front of my butt. It hurts so much that I can’t even wipe with a tissue after I go to the bathroom. There is no way I could have a bowel movement right now.” Ms. Richards states that the pain started 2 days ago and is “much worse now.” When asked about her sexual activity, she says, “I’m with a guy, but it’s not exclusive or anything. We see other people and try not to be real serious.”
